SMOKE and FIRE: The Body Shop's Autumn Trend for 2010







Have you already seen this poster at The Body Shop's branches?


The Body Shop Autumn Trend Launch

Smoke and Fire. A very sexy, sultry and fierce make-up that is a product of The Body Shop's latest make-up collection for Autumn 2010. This look is inspired by the rich, natural, earthy colors of the changing season and autumn skies. Intense eye make-up with soft cheek and lip color.


Yesterday, I attended its launch and I'm excited to share with you the fascinating products I was able to see and try.

Kajal Eyeliners - Suggested Retail Price: Php 695.00.

Apply to the lash lines for dramatic, dreamy eyes or smudge over the eyelid for a sultry, mouldering, eyeshadow look.

Roma did my make-up here. She used the Charcoal Kajal Liner and Bronze Autumn Leaves Compact on me. Loved it :)

If I'm asked what is the must-buy item in the collection: It would be the Kajal liners for me. I love how it made achieving a smoky look easier. Just apply it on the lids then smudge with your beauty finger, brush of sponge. No sweat! You can also intensify your look more by making it as a base and applying the eyeshadow on top. Plus! It also contains Community Trade Marula oil which means that it glides on the skin easily and beneficial to the skin too.
